I can see from previous discussions that this has been touched on before so could someone point me in the right direction please.
My '63 2 door uses the old flashing sidelight/brakelight setup.
I have already fitted new halogen headlights with built-in sidelights so I was going to utilize these by diverting the existing wiring from the sidelight at the front. I was going to leave the existing lamp and holder as an indicator but change the clear glass in the L488 fitting to amber.
But how do I sort out the rear? I don't quite understand how the relay works with the indicator and brakelight switches.
This newbie would be really grateful for some help!

Re: Fitting indicators
Hi
One way to fit separate rear flashers, as follows.
I assume you have a 8 way relay feeding the brake lights and flashers.
Number 2 and 6 on the relay feed the front flashers, Number 6 right hand green/white and 2 left hand green/red.
These cables need to be extended to the new respective rear flashers.
You need to remove numbers 3 and 7 cables and connect to number 5, on the 8 way relay, to prevent the brake lights flashing, and allow them to just work as brake lights.

Hi
I hope I have posted a diagram of my set up, which may explain the 8 way relay more clearly.

There are more than one way to skin a cat (please note no cats were harmed in the making of this post)
If you want to incorporate indicators into the original rear lamps take a look here:-

If you want some discreet (until they're lit) indicators, take a look here:-
